Hi Jill, Yes I did have an epidural injection at Northwest Hospital in Seattle last year. My neuro sent me to a neurosurgeon for his expert advice. I had the same thing - a pinched nerve trying to come out from under my lesion at C5-6. The injection is supposed to help within 12 to 48 hours for most people. It didn't start working for me until 2 weeks later. So don't get discouraged if you don't get immediate relief. I'll be thinking about you.

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all doing well. I am scheduled for an epidural injection tomorrow because of a pinched nerve in C5-6, 6-7. Now I know how us TM'ers love needles in our spine so I figured I'd ask the experts! Has anyone been to a pain clinic for an epidural injection? And if so, does this affect the TM in any way? I didn't check with my neuro prior. The pain clinic actually squeezed me in so I didn't have time to call my neuro. Thanks for any input.

I actually think he made it worse! www.greatamericanbeanbag.com<http://www.greatamericanbeanbag.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored Link Rates near 39yr lows. $510,000 Loan for $1698/mo - Calculate new house payment<http://www.lowermybills.com/lre/index.jsp?sourceid=lmb-9137-16419&moid=4119>
